Good Morning + what are you up to today and how is your weather

That's the casual shaken but not stirred look  .... only attained by the British with their natural air of sang froid!

No .. I just haven't been around for a while. I've just logged on there and seen you're been your ususal self.

yes it's the only way I know how to deal with stupidity!

Why who's been stupid?

Looks like Davo has been defenestrated at F3A, not posted for 3 days now!

Changeable weather here today, 8°C.

I'm well and hearty me comrades now on a much larger and healthier and better run one were I can relax a bit - but seriously I think forums have really had their days and we are seeing and being part of their decline?

Davo ... I take it you know that Natham has deleted his membership? I've only just discovered it and I'm surprised! 
Are neither of you coming back then?
I take it you're on that Hip forum , the racy one with sweetpie and boozer?

And I suspect you're right. Forums seem to have had their day and the main membership sems to be from a generation that were introduced to them in their heyday .. and youngsters now aren't too interested. They prefer Tiktok, Instagram and FB.
Let's just hope forums keep muddling along long enough for our age group before they die out.

yes he told me - and I won't be returning - the light hands on approach philisophy don't seem to work - wot natham and I were doing is no different from forums all over the world - but the ageing two gents plus their lackie girl julie couldn't handle the new age - so enjoy the peaceful quiet and boring lifestyle but you mort didn't get too much involved heh - wise lady! - see ya around the traps - my backbone still feels study enough I trust everyone elses is too?

Well wherever you are .... I hope you feel comfy and more at home. And wherever you both are they are surely in for interesting times  ... send my good wishes onto Natham. He did surprise me, with leaving ... and you too, truth be told.

You could always start your own forum together! My, that would be a lively and challenging place to be.

If I may interject - my take on the future of forums based upon my own experience is that the forums that provide technical support - be it photography, motoring, Sport, electronics, A.V, computers, etc still remain reasonably active and continue to attract a dribble of new members.

Forums that are just for general chat are now populated by oldies with health and social problems and very limited sense of humour . They now resemble God's waiting rooms. 

A good example is TOFFS (https://toff.freesmfhosting.com/) which some here have tried and  vanished from. I now rarely post there and andsome has virtually given up.

I love how you say ...
Oldies with health and social problems ...

You mean we moan ...incessantly .. about how times are changing, detrimentally   ..and you're right, we do moan. I've noticed  distinct lack of humour on some too.
You're also right that a special interest, a shared interest, often keeps punters coming back to exchange interesting morsels of info. I take it your motoring forum is still going strong.

It is well over 6 mths and 1 day so it seems anyone of us can apply for ownership - stop pushing from behind morty!! - alan wants to get to the front of the queue!!  God a dream come true sad the goul from nightmare alley!!  I dare anyone with the big enough guts!!
